Thinking or Doing
We have a ‘thinking’ system and a ‘doing’ system – and we’re generally only capable of using one at a time.
- Thinking requires Diverging(trying to come up with as many ideas as possible).
- Doing requires Converging (evaluating ideas and figure out which ones are best).

Get Some Distance
Physical and mental distance influence the way you think about things. Distance engages the thinking system.
Your workplace environment is strongly associated with getting things done. In order to engage a thinking mindset, spend time working in another place. Change your environment, and you will change the way you think.

Stand Up and Move
The modern workplace revolves around sitting.
The seated posture reinforces the activation of a thinking mindset.
If you need to jumpstart your doing mindset, get moving. Stand up. Walk around your workspace. By getting up and moving, you get into a converging, action-oriented mode on.

Experiment with your deadlines
The proximity of a deadline can also activate different systems: the closer the deadline, the more your “doing” mindset is activated.
Change your deadlines to get into convergence, the doing mindset.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
